MySQL offers several methods to verify the integrity and accuracy of your data. One approach involves utilizing built-in data types and constraints. Specifying data types like INTEGER or VARCHAR ensures that only compatible values are entered into those columns. Additionally, constraints like CHECK and FOREIGN KEY can be defined to enforce specific rules. A CHECK constraint, for example, can limit a field's value to a certain range, while a FOREIGN KEY constraint guarantees that references to another table are valid.

Beyond these preventative measures, MySQL offers functionalities for identifying existing data quality issues. SELECT statements with WHERE clauses and comparison operators allow you to filter and examine specific data subsets. This helps pinpoint inconsistencies or missing values. For instance, you could query a user table to find email addresses with an invalid format.

While MySQL itself isn't designed for extensive data cleaning, these verification techniques empower you to identify and address potential data integrity problems, ensuring your database remains reliable and trustworthy.
